How do I decide between a traditional marquee and a frame tent?

A traditional marquee has guy ropes and stakes on the outside with poles inside and are usually only suitable for grass surfaces.

A frame tent, as the name suggests, is self supporting and does not require central supports or guy ropes externally. They can be installed on either grass or hard surfaces. Both can be fitted out to provide that touch of elegance. Frame tents are often preferred for corporate events and exhibitions due to their being 'clear span'. They also can withstand higher wind loading and so are often chosen for Winter venues.

How long can I have the marquee for?

If it is a weekend event then the marquee is yours for both Saturday and Sunday. For weekday event the hire period is by arrangement.

Can I have heating?

Yes, We supply gas heating which enables you to ensure that the marquee remains warm at any date within the year. Only in the middle of the summer is it usually warm enough not to require heating for events held during the day.

When do you put up and take down the marquees?

Typically for a weekend event we will install the marquee on a Wednesday or Thursday and remove it on a Monday or Tuesday.
